Twisted Colossus Construction Wrap-Up

Picture
It's finally here ... almost 9 months to the day since Colossus closed, it's had a baby, and it's amazing and glorious and all of the things that Six Flags Magic Mountain has needed for years. 

Colossus closed on August 16, 2014 and Twisted Colossus opens this Saturday May 23, 2014. 

Tomorrow we'll be at Media Day and then back at the park on Thursday and Saturday but in the meantime, let's take a look back at the last 9 months of construction. 

Click on any of the pictures below to view the individual update.
